Many scientists believe the dinosaurs disappeared quickly, as in a cataclysmic event. In Luke 10:18, Jesus said he watched Satan fall from heaven like a flash of lightning. This may have been the catastrophe that killed the dinosaurs.

No, I could imagine a person who thinks that God, being all-seeing, but not all-knowing, designed natural selection to create his creatures for him. Though to me, natural selection seems as natural as gravity.

There was a big grin on my face as I read the first paragraph. I actually began to be hopeful as I read "The young earth theory is probably wrong" Then I remembered what site we were on, but still, this one isn't as bad as a lot of the others.

Possibly. But then, there's also probably a good deal of people who consider themselves the queen of mars. It doesn't mean they are. However, in my personal experience, most of the Only True Scotsman-esque problems fall on religion, not scientific theory.

The young Earth theory is probably wrong. That's one thing we agree on.

Concerning evolution, it is noteworthy that not all evolutionists are atheists. I can only speculate, but probably many atheistic evolutionists consider themselves the only true evolutionists.You're partially right. Most people who believe in evolution also believe in a supreme being. And not all atheists believe in evolution, there are some fringe lunatic who think aliens brought life to Earth.

Since, according to the bible, Jay-sus, lived about 2,000 years ago, and virtually anyone with an IQ. larger than their shoe size would realized that dinosaurs (not counting birds) died out millions of years ago...

I'd have to say that while this guys almost in the land of reason... but got lost someone along the way.

So there was the cataclysmic event that killed off the dinos, and it happened during the time jeebus was here - he even saw the flash - yet nobody put it in the book? No mention of dinos anywhere? The brave folks back then must not have been too concerned about them

"I can't help but notice that Jesus happened to watch Satan fall to Earth BEFORE (according to your bible) the first man and woman. I guess that makes Jesus a time traveler too."

No no no no. You know how there are those New Testament passages where Jesus basically says he's always existed? You know, "And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began" from John 17:5, and stuff?

I think Tom H. is claiming that this pre-existing "Pre-Jesus Jesus" watched Satan fall from the sky 65 MYa.
